adobe flash player for firefox free download filehippo

I also went to Adobe's page where you can see what version of Flash you're running ( ) and it doesn't even show that I have Flash installed. It made no difference whatsoever, as best I can tell. I downloaded the latest version of Java because I read somewhere that Flash requires Java to work I installed the 'Add-On Compatibility Reporter' so I could force Java to be enabled. There is no Flash (or Shockwave) plugin listed on any of the menus - it's like it doesn't exist.

THEN, I go to 'Manage my add-ons' thinking maybe I need to enable the plugin. Attempt to download plugin again.no dice. Navigating back to the page with the Flash media - still have a message saying I need the plugin. The installation process completes, the installer tells me that the download is successful, and my browser opens back up with an 'Installation Successful' message from the Adobe website. I double-click on the Flash installer to run the installation.

I then close all programs (including Firefox) except for the Windows Explorer folder that I'm going to run the installer from. The dialog box pops up, I save the file, and once it has downloaded, I open the containing folder (my downloads folder). I unchecked the box to pair McAfee Security with the download, and downloaded the latest version of Flash (to be honest, I've actually downloaded this exact same version about 10 times today). It goes through the motions, and then tells me that 'No plugins were installed.' There is a link to manually install the plugin, which takes me to Adobe's Flash download page. The box is checked, and I click 'Next' to install. Additionally, there is a message at the top of the page that says 'Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page' with an option to 'Install Missing Plugins.' I click the link to install the missing plugin, and a dialog box pops up that says 'The following plugins are available:' and lists 'Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152' with a check box next to it.

When I go to a site that contains Flash content, it says 'A plugin is needed to display this content' and there is a link to install the plugin.
